After arriving in Australia in 2009 to study at Deakin’s Melbourne Burwood Campus, Vidusha was pleased to receive credit for the subjects she had already completed in her native Sri Lanka Vidusha also enjoyed the flexibility Deakin gave her ‘If I couldn’t make it to class because of my part-time job, I could listen to a lecture online I found the course catered really well to the work-life balance I was looking for.’
Finding her excellent results led to her inclusion on the Dean’s Merit List was
a ‘pleasant surprise’, Vidusha says, and a reminder that putting in the hard work was important.’
Vidusha has just finished a role with Macquarie Leasing after securing a much anticipated graduate position with Deloitte.
